Executive MBA Selection Process
Admission to the Executive MBA Program is highly selective and limited to those individuals who demonstrate potential for top management. The program is rigorous and requires the support of the candidate’s family, as well as their company. The decision for acceptance is based on an evaluation of the candidate’s undergraduate program and grades earned, work experience (10 or more years), professional recommendations and a personal interview. In rare circumstance, documented work experience may serve as fulfillment of a course of study.
Executive program candidates should have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, 10 years professional work experience with five years in a management role, proven track record of successful project, budget, product or resource management, an understanding of basic accounting, statistics and economics, proficiency in Microsoft Office programs and strong communication skills, both written and oral.
